Guns per Year - What was your year of the gun?

And while I tend to not be judgemental, when you get to the point that you're finding guns you don't remember getting, no recollection where or when or how....well, then I may feel like you have a problem.

If I get to that point, I think that won’t be a gun problem, it will be the onset of dementia. So far, based on your criteria, I do not have a problem. Of course, my spreadsheet and “The List” help me remember, and so far I remember how many, where and when for every gun. I can completely deny that I’m in denial.

I just did a quick count, I'm upto 11 this year so far.

Keep racking up those numbers people. Clearly no problem with me other than friendly competitive jealousy.

Me 25 years ago would have thought me today has a problem.


Then again, me 25 years ago was in a different place in life than me today.

My single biggest was a few years ago but had nothing to do with either elections or pandemics, just an odd combination of circumstances, availability and cash together!
It was also my biggest year for free stuff and even though that doesn't count they equaled each other. 16 total came to roost that year so my vote was the 7-8 category.

What are the most guns you have purchased in a year for personal use, not including guns inherited or given to you?

Ten in 2021 - very unusual for me. Prompted by social unrest and a pile of unexpected COVID cash.

It was a year of experimentation to see what really worked for me. Some did, some didn't. I may eventually sell the ones that didn't (yeah, right).

The keepers: two Mustangs, two S&W Bodyguards (I like DAO in a pocket pistol), and a definite keeper: my Ruger Mark IV Hunter to complement my Mark III Hunter. Now, I have two Hunters
